Editing Man Haron Monis (section)

==History==
Monis was born in Borujerd, Iran. His family was held in detention by the Iranian authorities, yet Monis was able to seek asylum in Australia in 1996. Whether or not he'd sold them out for his own safety is debatable.

Monis first gained infamy through a hate-mail campaign against Australian troops for their part in the Afghanistan conflict. He was brought to court for his uncomplimentary and insensitive remarks (such as comparing dead soldiers to pigs or even Hitler), but could not be charged on the grounds of free speech. However, he was banned from using the Australian Postal Service.

In November 2013, Monis was found guilty for the murder of his ex-wife Noleen Hayson Pal. She was stabbed and set on fire. He was arrested but released on bail, due to lack of evidence, as well as claims of conspiracy.

In March 2014, Monis lured a woman into his home by pretending to be a spiritual healer. He then proceeded to sexually abuse her. It's assumed he had been sexually assaulting women for years before this incident.
